The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne would make a fine old-time carnival barker, beckoning us into a world of wonder and weirdness, dressed in his white suit and flanked by people dressed like stuffed animals. So it is not ironic at all that the Lips are playing the State Fair. Their latest, At War With the Mystics, is their most political, but with songs like “Free Radicals (A Hallucination of the Christmas Skeleton Pleading with a Suicide Bomber),” they are in little danger of becoming overly serious. 651-642-2262; www.mnstatefair.org
